That was the question that Geoffrey Canada found himself asking. Download Whatever It Takes: Geoffrey Canada's Quest to Change Harlem and America from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. What would it take to change the lives of poor children-not one by one, through heroic interventions and occasional miracles, but in big numbers, and in a way that could be replicated nationwide? The question led him to create the Harlem Children's Zone, a ninety-seven-block laboratory in central Harlem where he is testing new and sometimes controversial ideas about poverty in America. His conclusion: if you want poor kids to be able to compete with their middle-class peers, you need to change everything in their lives-their schools, their neighborhoods, even the child-rearing practices of their parents.
